The Managing Director/CEO of Lagos Waste Management Authority (LAWMA), Mr. Ibrahim Odumboni, today, held a meeting with CEOs/service providers, on sweepers’ safety, welfare, and adherence to rule of engagement, for effective service delivery, to achieve a cleaner environment, at LAWMA’s head office, Ijora-Olopa.
Mr. Odumboni, speaking during the meeting, stated that the health and safety of the sweepers were major priorities of the Authority, which necessitated the health insurance for the sweepers, early in the year, to mitigate the effect of unforeseen incidents, in the course of their duties.
The Managing Director noted further that the sweepers have latterly become more exposed to danger from reckless motorists driving against traffic, hence the need for a collaborative effort for their safety.
